India, our Mother Land has a great history. We, Indians have a great culture, heritage and civilization which should make us proud. In this fast twitter world, neither do we have the time to pass it to next generation nor do we give them the time to listen. The nuclear family structure has become the way of life these days. Due to this, the younger generation has unfortunately missed the opportunity of living with their grandparents which, in the previous generations, ensured that the baton is passed on to the budding generation.
When we spend our life chasing something (money?!?!) without knowing what we are chasing, we tend to forget the importance of our culture, heritage and the strength it provides to us and future generations. In my humble opinion, it is our duty to set aside some time for this forgotten responsibility. I thought of doing the same by taking this small step in creating this blog - RECONNECT WITH OUR ROOTS.
I am starting with the topic on God; I strongly believe without God’s blessings we cannot achieve anything. As per our tradition, I start with Vinayaka, Pillayar, Ganesha, Mooshika Vahana, Ganeshji, by whichever name one addresses Him.
Lord Ganesha is the most powerful and simple of all the Gods. He provides knowledge, prosperity and courage to us. He is also the Destroyer of Obstacles. It is for this reason that His grace is invoked by people before they undertake any task. Also, Lord Ganesha is one person whom even Lord Shani was not able to affect.
One of the powerful Ganesha Sloka
In English
Mooshika vaahana Modhaha hastha!
Chamara Karna Vilambitha Suthra!
Vamana Rupa Maheswara Puthra!
Vigna Vinayaga Padha Namasthe!
தமிழில்
மூஷிக வாகன மோதாஹ் ஹஸ்த
சாமர கர்ண விளம்பித சூத்திர
வாமன ரூப மகேஸ்வர புத்திர
விக்ன விநாயக பாத நமஸ்தே!!
Let’s pray Lord Ganesha before we start anything. We will start together our journey “Reconnect with our Roots”.
